Amy Adams donned a fluffy, feathery, heather grey Oscar de la Renta gown to the 2013 Oscars. It was reminiscent of the blush Atelier Versace gown that Penelope Cruz wore to the 2007 ceremony, with its soft lush skirt that resembled a cloud.

Adams' choice was daring, but it worked for her. The color was unexpected and the full, poofy skirt was elegant and fashion-forward. She was the belle of the Academy's ball in this gorgeous gown.

We didn't love her messy, center-parted updo, but we forgot about her coif foible when she gave a shout out to her baby daughter at home. Aw.
